Scale Question

So I was doing my favorite thing in SHIII and SHIV (namely, sneaking into enemy ports and blowing **** up), when I noticed something....off...with my fish and the ships I was attacking.

Is it me, or do the torpedoes seem a tad bit larger than they should be?

For example, I launched a few fish at this Fuso I found near Hiroshima, sitting in that pocket where the water gets deep.

According to the manual, the Fuso has a draft of 9.4 meters. Now, I don't know how big a diameter the US torps had, but they couldn't be more than 1m across (I think the biggest were, what, 21 inches or something?).

Yet when my fish got near the Fuso, it seemed llike there would be NO way one could stack 5 fish against the side of the fuso, let alone the 10 or so it would take to equal her draft.

Am I right here? Are the torpedoes scaled wrong? Or is it the size of the ships?
